I ran across this online and thought it might answer a lot of questions that tend to pop up here.

I have to say, however, that I have had nearly all these issues at one time or another (including having periods 13-14 days apart, instead of 30 or whatever) and I have yet to find a doctor who gave a crap about it. I hope that's more exception than rule.

(HealthDay News) - A regular, healthy menstrual cycle is a good indicator of a woman's reproductive health. If you have problems with your period, see your doctor.

Here's a list of warning signs that something may be wrong, provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:

* If you have no menstrual cycle by age 15, or within three years of breast development.
* If you have no period for more than 90 days.
* If you suddenly have irregular periods after having had regular periods consistently.
* If you have periods very often (21 days or less since the prior one) or very infrequently (45 days or more since the prior one).
* If you have periods that last longer than seven days.
* If you have abnormally heavy bleeding, or bleed or spot between periods.
* If you have severe pain, sickness or fever during your period or after using tampons.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
